Festival World Tours
Bring the Magic of IWFF and CINE to your town!

Festival World Tours offer opportunities for your group or organization to host a screening of some of the International Wildlife Film Festival and Montana CINE's award-winning films. These films come from some of the most superb film and television producers in the world including National Geographic, BBC, CBC, Discovery, Nature, as well as many independent producers and production houses from every corner of the globe.

The selection of films for your Festival World Tour will complement the International Wildlife Film Festival's mission: To promote awareness, knowledge and understanding of wildlife, habitat, people and nature, through excellent film, television and other media. The subjects of the films and television programs that become available for Post Festival World Tours come from a broad range of categories including Television Programs, Children's Programs, Environmental Issues, Human Dimensions/Indigenous Peoples, and Music Videos.

The staff of the International Wildlife Media Center & Film Festival will work with you and your group to provide the best package of films for the audience that you expect or anticipate at your screening.

Festival World Tour hosts can create a unique event that specifically showcases the films or incorporates films into an already existing local festival, event or special topic. Chosen films often reflect relevant issues of your organization, your particular geographic region or may simply complement a specific theme, such as bears or endangered species. You may also wish to actively involve school groups by using films to enhance the educational experience of your event.

When using films that deal with particular topics or issues relating to your region, your organization or some other theme, you may want to consider inviting local or well-known experts (in biology, politics, economics, etc.) to answer questions from the audience or as part of a panel discussion following the screening.
